Personal training – Fitx competition

as you may have recognized I did a raffle together with Fitx for a training session with me.

The two winners are in their early twenties and have both been doing fitness for about 1 year, so still in the beginning.

We talked about my training and nutrition and for example which supplements I use.

Afterwards we decided to do a whole body workout.

After 10 years of training I think one of the most important facts I learned during the last years is to focus on what you want to train. Many people doing their exercises and are not concentrated enough on the muscle part they want to hit.

During my set I am always focussed on the body part which I want to hit. For example while doing bench press I concentrate myself the whole set for having the biggest contraction over the complete movement. It is not about using the heaviest weight it´s much more about doing your set very clean and focussed all the time. You will get a lot of more pump and it´s not for nothing that all famous bodybuilder preach the “muscle to mind” fact.
For example one of the guys started doing bench press at his first working set with 35 kg dumbbells. After correcting his movement and instruction to focus on his chest for having contractions all the time, he was using 25kg dumbbells. But after the set he had a much better feeling in his chest, because it was only the chest which was working and not 50% shoulders and 50% chest.

For the final exercise we did two biceps and two triceps as supersets. (biceps curls 3 sets and hammer curls with the rope 3 sets) ; Triceps rope pushdowns 3 sets and overhead dumbbell triceps extensions 3 sets.

At the end we did two abs sets. Hanging with straight legs and bent legs each 3 sets.

It was a great day and a really nice workout.

Next week I will upload my complete chest workout with many photos, so stay tuned.

Hey Daniel,
I’m reading this blog once in a while because of my interest in men fashion. I’m not really a fitness person. But I just wanted to say it is nice to see you seem to inspire and motivate people from a sincere passion for what you do. Keep it up and best of luck!

I have been working out for about 7 years now and I am wondering besides a great mind body connection is cardio a key factor to keep a sculpted and defined body figure such as you have? Also do you prefer fastening cardio in the morning? Or after your weight training?

Hey Carlos!
Of course cardio is very important. I am doing cardio at a separate day. I love to do interval sessions.
But cardio in the morning is also very effektiv. Unfortunately I don´t have the time for that at the moment.
Best wishes
Daniel 🙂

Hey Daniel! Sorry to bother, i’m working in fitness for about one year but never take any supplements. Just want to know what supolements do u take and if they’re really necessary and effective. Thanks a lot mate!

Hi, Daniel!
I just wanted to say that you’re a really cool guy and that you are a fashion inspiration for me, an icon, actually. I follow you on instagram for a really long time. Also your fit builded body motivates me to work harder.
As a suggestion for the blog, try changing the font and it’s dimension, cause it’s really hard to read and it is too small. Go for times new roman at least until you find the perfect font.
wish u the best!

I was already doing a whole body workout for burning fat but my training has just one exercise for each muscle group. I changed it and did this workout. It’s absolutely very effective 🙂 But I don’t want to be overtrained 🙂

Hey Daniel!!
I’ve been going to the gym for about a year on my own, and I have seen some results but not as much as I’d desire. Do you recommend hiring a personal trainer or is it ok to keep going on my own just with the workouts I was taught when I first started?
